Chapter 281 This is the wife my son married.
The rules of the Yu family's Dajin Mansion are strict. The main gate of the Shunguo Mansion will not be open all day. It will only be opened to welcome distinguished guests or special and important occasions, and the number of times each year is few and far between.
The last time it was opened was to welcome Wei Zhao's coffin.
Today, Ningguo Marquis and Old Lady Ning came over and walked through the side door.
Before Wei Zhao entered the palace, he also handed the unconscious woman he brought back to the housekeeper at the side door.
Although it was a side door, Yu Tingwan had seen it before. The walls were red and the tiles were yellow, and the eaves were arched. There were also pine and crane carvings on the lintel.
She felt it was particularly prominent.
But this time the carriage bypassed the side door and went to the main gate.
The white silk of the Wei family had been removed, and the hanging funeral lanterns were replaced with red lanterns.
The red lacquered gate was located on the southeast side of the Shunguo Mansion, which meant that the purple air came from the east. It was tall and majestic, and the drum-shaped stone lion squatting at the door was baring its teeth and claws.
The copper door knocker with animal head pattern, the overlapping brackets and the protruding rafters.
The eaves are high up, like an eagle spreading its wings.
The screen wall, the eaves, the hanging beasts... all show the meticulous craftsmanship, and the profound heritage and honor passed down from generation to generation of the Wei family.
The black golden nanmu door plaque hangs, with the four characters "Shunguogongfu" written on it.
It has been a few years, and the sun shines on it in a slanting light and shadow.
But the characters are vigorous and powerful, like iron painting and silver hooks.
The door is wide open to welcome the long-lost people.
Passersby are confused.
"Is the Wei family going to hold a wedding?"
"See, the wife of Shunguogongfu has been sitting at the door for an hour."
"People from Ningguohoufu are here too, and they are all accompanying them at the door. Who are they waiting for? Such a scene?"
As he spoke, a low-key carriage slowly came from a distance.
In the carriage, Wei Zhao's eyes were dark and his emotions were indistinguishable.
Ning Suchan has been looking forward to it for a long time.
When the carriage appeared in her sight, she stared at it without blinking. When she saw that it was Shunzi driving the carriage, she stood up suddenly.
Her anxious heart seemed to be soothed.
A group of servants rushed out of the mansion, all of them were in high spirits and holding long strings of firecrackers.
The crackling sounded non-stop, and the red carpet was rolled out from the courtyard.
"Here they come!"
Old Lady Ning was in tears.
She didn't care about anything else, and was supported by the Ningguo Marquis and his wife on the left and right, and she couldn't wait to walk down the steps.
The people in the carriage hadn't appeared yet, and she seemed to be afraid of disturbing the people inside, so she called softly.
"Guizhi."
The curtain was lifted a corner, and the Wei family son who they had been thinking about leaned out.
He was thinner and weaker.
His body looked thin.
But Old Lady Ning felt at ease.
She cried out, and the Ningguo Marquis' wife beside her also had tears in her eyes.
Among all these children and grandchildren, Guizhi was the one she loved the most. It's not because he has a promising future, but because the burden on this child is too heavy. He
has shouldered too much since he was a child
. Wei Zhao's aura is different from before.
It's not that he is cold and wants to teach Ning Yunling a lesson, but that he is more disciplined and solemn than Yu Tingwan has ever seen.
He has a steady breath and a clear face. He has the noble character of a son of an aristocratic family and the sharpness of a military general.
But even so, Wei Zhao did not forget that he was sick.
He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, covered his lips and coughed softly. When he coughed, his body trembled slightly, and he seemed to be unable to stand steadily and tilted. It didn't seem like he was pretending.
"What's the matter?"
"Is your health serious?"
Old Madam Ning stepped forward and grabbed him, looking at him carefully.
Wei Zhao called out, "Grandma."
The crowd was quiet, and then there was a noise one after another.
"Wei... General Wei?"
"Look, that's really General Wei. I said he was blessed with a long life! God is not blind to take him away."
"No, I have to go back and tell my father-in-law. He admires military generals and the Wei family the most. He has been depressed since he learned of the general's bad news."
Amidst all these voices, Old Lady Ning wiped away her tears.
"You have suffered, you have suffered, child."
"Quick, go and see your mother. She has been missing you day and night these days."
Ning Suchan stood where she was, her eyes never leaving Wei Zhao.
She watched Wei Zhao being surrounded.
Step by step, he walked towards her.
Finally, he stood in front of her.
He was alive, no longer a cold and lifeless coffin.
But Ning Suchan couldn't get enough of him.
Wei Zhao was as calm and respectful as usual. He bowed to her and saluted.
"Mother."
Seeing this, Old Lady Ning shook her head secretly. The mother and son were too distant.
Before, Wang Jiazi had managed to escape death outside and came back, but he was crying bitterly while hugging his mother.
But the next moment, she saw Wei Zhao waving to a place after paying his respects.
Everyone saw it.
Their eyes followed.
It was the direction of the carriage.
No, to be precise, it was the woman who was several steps behind Wei Zhao, and now she was walking up the stairs with her eyes half closed.
The woman had dark eyes, crescent-shaped eyebrows, and a rosy cherry mouth.
Everyone's minds were on Wei Zhao, and they almost forgot that he had brought back a girl.
After becoming the focus, Yu Tingwan did not panic.
The scene was big, and she had never seen it before, but the girl did not show any fear.
She did not walk like the noble ladies who went to the capital, with lotus steps, but with a briskness, and her skirt swayed as she walked.
The girl just walked to Wei Zhao's side, and he grabbed her hand.
This action caused gasps to come from all around.
Wei Zhao was unaware: "This is the wife my son married outside, Yu."
"My life is in danger and I need her to take care of me, so I can come back safely."
He turned his head to look at the girl.
"Call someone."
Yu Tingwan smiled at Ning Suchan: "Mother-in-law."
Ning Suchan's breathing paused slightly, and the wind was bitter.
She did not nod in response. She
just looked at Wei Zhao steadily.
Wei Zhao's expression remained the same, seemingly respectful, but how respectful was he?
Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers.
The bride must be approved by the elders before she can be included in the family tree. According to the rules, she must be questioned carefully first.
Life experience, age, name, birth character... She didn't know anything.
Before entering the house, Wei Zhao called this woman his wife in front of so many people. This clearly wanted to completely confirm the identity of the young lady of the Wei family outside.
Her son is the most intelligent, but he actually used it on her.
No wonder he took her away before entering the palace.
Was he afraid that she would embarrass Yu?
As a mother, is she so feared by him?
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ningguo Hou came out to smooth things over.
"Good boy, your mother was worried about your marriage. Now she has brought her own wife back. If your father knew, he would be so relieved."
Ningguo Hou's wife responded with a smile: "Guizhi has always been worry-free."
In this aristocratic family, the most important thing for marriage is family background. But after saving Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao's attitude is there, so that's another matter.
"This bride was chosen by Guizhi himself. He has always had high standards, so he can't make a mistake."
"I'm afraid you must have been exhausted on the way. Don't stand at the door. This is not the place to talk. Come into the house quickly."
She said to Ning Suchan: "I am happy to see her so pretty. You, as her mother-in-law, should be happy secretly."
